DESCRIPTION:

Ruth is a 53-pound Hershey Chocolate Labrador Retriever born from the Tiger Mountain Pointing Lab program in Ellensburg, WA, bred from Sky River's Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels JH(B) x Tiger Mtn's Sweet Potato (C). This gentle, loving dog combines the best qualities of a devoted house companion with exceptional hunting abilities. Her sweet demeanor, friendly disposition, and curious personality make her equally comfortable curled up on the couch or working hard in the field, where her smaller frame perfectly complements her large hunting drive.

Ruth excels as both an upland and waterfowl hunting companion, displaying strong natural pointing instincts that were evident even as a puppy, along with the ability to hold birds in place with calm, patient blind manners. She embodies all the essential qualities Marble Mountain Kennels values: service dog temperament and trainability, house dog gentleness and affection, natural upland pointing and quartering abilities, and a duck dog's love of water with intense search drive. These exceptional traits position Ruth to produce outstanding offspring with tremendous potential as service dogs, companion animals, and versatile gun dogs.
